close to two weeks since the festival and we still can't stop thinking about it 🧡
SO much gratitude for everyone who showed up, took cover during the rain, cooked people food, performed, painted, and more. We love this community and we can't wait to be back.
Thank you @api.fest for having our beautiful dancers perform last Saturday at the Southern California Asian & Pacific Islander Festival in Oceanside, CA 🙏🏼 ✨
We had a great time celebrating and supporting our API community ♥️

No trending audio, just community and culture🪷
This is what home is and @api.fest has done an amazing job bringing community together to show that. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of helping capture these moments.
Special shoutout to Tuyen for leading in direction, coordination, and bringing together so many hands on deck for all of this. Same to Emilie for coordinating media while also being on the ground getting more shots!

Deepest thanks for @api.fest Tuyen and Team for believing and trusting in me. Deepest thanks to @maryjhunart for connecting me, which then means thank you @patrickballesteros for connecting us and thank you my dear new twin mom Alisa for connecting me with @qualcomm winter art festival and thank my kid for being friends with your son three years ago. 😉 It blows my mind how ONE thread can lead to so many beautiful opportunities.
Thank you to my baddy friend @kimsielbeck for helping me with my anxiety and imparting her deep knowledge of mural painting.
Thank you to Jack the volunteer for putting my mural up with so much care! And to all the volunteers who were SO kind and caring.
BIG Thank you to @nclgbtqresourcecenter for welcoming my art into your space! You can find the mural there very soon— I’ll announce AND visit when it’s up! (Do we do an event?)
Thank you to my team for making this happen in my chaos. Thanks to my hotty hubby and cutest kids for being my why.
I feel like I’m writing a thank you speech but moments like these really need gratitude to be said because I can’t do what I do without the people in my life.
Most importantly, thank YOU. Every share, like, referral— I’m so proud to be your furbaby’s Aunty. 🥹 You make this life possible.
I’m proud to be a part of #SoCalAPIFest2025. Join me in recognizing the strengths and talents of the Asian-Pacific Islander cultural community on Saturday, April 26th! Thank you @api.fest for having me. I sang a traditional Chinese Kazakh folk song Mayila at the ocean stage in front of @oceansidemuseum at 11:10am April 26th. Thank you, City of Oceanside! #girlsinger #api #apifestival #familyfunday #singing #oceaside #museumofart
Huge thanks to @api.fest for having us this year! See you all next year 🤙🏽🤍
